Mahalo! Mahalo! Mahalo to All The Vendors, The Smokin Menehune's, Kimo, Delia & Don the Beachcomber's Ohana, and Everyone who came to The International Tiki Market Place. They just keep getting Bigger & Better See you at The next International Tiki Market Place....WooHooo!

Man! What a trip. Almost 4hrs there and back. Made it home . What a great Marketplace. Good to see some faces I have not seen in awhile and meeting some new ones in the flesh. Scored some cool stuff. Im beat. Good night and mahaloz.

If you are a mug collector you sure missed out yesterday, Between Ron-Tiki, House of Tiki and the regular vendors
there was an amazing range of super rare & just hard to find mugs at good prices (Shag Mugs for $50!), It blew a year of eBay
listings out of the water (Yes, we are going to need a bigger boat!)

skootiki had some large Tikis for cheap prices, great to see a number of SD Vendors at Don's to,
Eric the Red, Buzzy & Scott just to name a few.

This was my first time vending at the International TiKi Market Place and I had a great time. Dons has such a wonderful vibe. Mix that with a bunch of friendly TiKi fans and vendors,fantastic live music, great drinks and food.........a very fun way to spend the day! Thanks again to those of you who took home a new TiKi and thanks to Chris and Karen and the staff at Dons.

The Smokin Menehunes had a blast! Tried some new songs we never practiced or heard before...but for corns sake please stop requesting bruddah Iz stuff! None of us really knows that one song....that one song!

PS, shameless plug here, but if you notice Pat's red uke, it's the new Bill Tapia signature model! Pat and I have a booth at NAMM, and will be revealing it for the first time...along with demonstrating it (Kevin will be joining us) all three days....I can tell you the Uke is awesome...plays like a dream (yes, every fret works, unlike in a lot of store bought ukes) and is very reasonably priced!

Oh ya. One thing I wanted to ask. I need contact info for House of Tiki. They were vending and had a peice I was interested in. She gave me her card with contact info but I lost it. Does anyone have their email adress or phone#? Mahalo.
